Superstar Mike Trout is still yet to win a playoff game as an Angel.
The franchise is hopeful that things will be different this year.
This is a new look at the Angels roster, and few expectations are attached to the team early in the season.

Second baseman Brandon Drury enjoyed the best year of his career, blasting 26 home runs while driving in 83 runs.
Left Fielder Taylor Ward hit .253 with 14 home runs and 47 RBIs.
South Paw Patrick Sandoval will get the nod this afternoon. Sandoval went 7-13 with a 4.11 ERA a season ago.
Baltimore begins the season optimistic after a strong 2023 season.
The Orioles ended the year with a 101-61 record.
That was the franchise's best record since 1979 when they won 102 games.
